R.O.B. sports an above-average [[walking]] speed, [[initial dash]], and [[falling speed]], is tied with {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Bowser Jr.}} for the 26th-fastest [[air speed]], average [[dashing]] speed, [[gravity]], and [[traction]], as well as the 30th-highest [[air acceleration]]. This grants him mobility that is either average or above average overall. | ||
Like in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', R.O.B. is a zoning-oriented character with versatile projectiles to keep his opponents at bay. [[Robo Beam]] enables him to attack from considerable distance, and becomes the noticeably stronger [[Super Robo Beam]] when it is left idle for 14.3 seconds. While Robo Beam interrupts opponents faster, Super Robo Beam deals more damage and has higher knockback growth. [[Gyro]] is an auto-[[charge]]able projectile that becomes an [[item]] when fired. Compared to Robo Beam, it has a more favorable angle for disrupting opponents, while also being more manipulable as a projectile and possessing greater KO power. Thanks to R.O.B.'s [[item throw]]s being among the strongest in the game, Gyro is also especially useful when [[Item throw#Directions and strength|smash thrown]] as an item. | Like in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', R.O.B. is a zoning-oriented character with versatile projectiles to keep his opponents at bay.

Aside from his projectiles, R.O.B.'s grounded game is also excellent. His [[neutral attack]] comes out on frame 3 and acts as a quick move at low percentages to escape pressuring situations, and it can also [[jab lock]] and combo. [[Forward tilt]] | Aside from his projectiles, R.O.B.'s grounded game is also excellent. His [[neutral attack]] comes out on frame 3 and acts as a quick move at low percentages to escape pressuring situations, and it can also [[jab lock]] and combo. [[Forward tilt]] is useful for spacing since it comes out on frame 7, can kill at high percents, and can hit many characters' ledge hangs. [[Up tilt]] comes out on frame 4, and is great for acting as an anti-air and combos into his up aerial. [[Down tilt]] is R.O.B.'s single-best move in his entire kit, as it lowers his hurtbox, has great range, is tied with his jab as his fastest move at frame 3, pressures [[shield]]s, beats [[shield grab]]s, and its total active frames is only 14, meaning it is one of the safest pressuring moves in the game. It also combos into itself at lower percentages, and at higher percents, it can combo into grab or dash attack, and can send opponents into a jab lock-based scenario for a KO at relatively low percentages. Lastly, [[dash attack]] is useful for punishing landings and whiffs, is extremely fast at frame 7, has relatively long range, and can combo into his forward air at low to medium percentages. | ||
R.O.B.'s air game is also great, thanks to the excellent and disjointed ranges of all excluding [[forward aerial|one]] of his aerials. [[Neutral aerial]] has large, disjointed hitboxes that make it great for covering the opponents' options if lacking the range to deal with it. It is also very hard to punish [[out of shield]] due to its damage, total [[landing lag]] (7 frames) and range. It is also a reliable combo starter at low to medium percentages when [[SHFF]]'d, as well as a useful spacing option and, to a lesser extent, a KOing tool. [[Up aerial]] is a great vertical KO move due to its large and long-lasting hitboxes, fast startup, and the last hit’s high knockback. [[Back aerial|Back]] and [[down aerial]]s are R.O.B.'s most damaging aerials when [[sweetspot]]ted, and they too have large and disjointed hitboxes, much like neutral aerial. However, they also boast their own specific strengths: back aerial has recovery potential thanks to it propelling R.O.B. forward, and it is his only aerial that can KO in neutral due to its incredible knockback and huge hitbox. Not only that, but it is also one of the strongest back aerials in the game. Meanwhile, his down aerial is a powerful [[meteor smash]] that can hit below the ledge and KO very early if done so. It is also active for 6 whole frames, making it difficult to avoid for characters with linear recoveries. Lastly, [[forward aerial]] is R.O.B.'s fastest aerial coming out on frame 6, making it very spammable in neutral due to how low committal it is to use, as it is safe on shield. However, its hitbox has much shorter range and is not disjointed. | R.O.B.'s air game is also great, thanks to the excellent and disjointed ranges of all excluding [[forward aerial|one]] of his aerials.
